Use dreamlike illustrated cards to give abstract clues that match your own secret card — clever enough that some players find it but not all — in this beautifully creative storytelling card game.

The Essentials

  • Give clues that are neither too obvious nor too obscure, since the goal is for some but not all players to guess correctly
  • Draw on sounds, songs, idioms, or feelings rather than literal descriptions, since abstract clues work best with dreamlike art
  • Pay attention to which images each player tends to pick when voting, since it reveals their interpretive style over time
  • Vote thoughtfully even when you're not the storyteller, since guessing correctly earns you points too
  • Keep a light, playful tone rather than overthinking clues, since spontaneous associations often make the best rounds
